MY DRIVER TEAM - YOUR OPINION

A pleasant transfer from the airport to Jaisalmer

This was the first time that I ventured out of Europe after Covid struck us and my second time in India. In 2020 (before all the lockdowns) I was travelling with a friend and we hired one of Ashok's taxis for seven days, mainly to get to Sariska National Park and to several towns in the Shekhawati region. We were really satisfied with our driver Bittoo and the suggestions Manish made.

So I hired Ashok again when I arrived at Delhi airport in the middle of the night.

I wanted to visit Jaisalmer a second time, be able to rest after a few hours' drive and see something new on the way. The instructions Ashok gave me how to find him (which exit to take, what to do if something went wrong) were so clear that I didn't worry. I saw him as soon as I left the airport and we drove straight to Jhunjhunu, where I visited the Rani Sati temple. I spent the next day in Nagaur and had a look at the fort, which is really worth while visiting.

I bought an Indian SIM-card and Ashok helped me to activate the account and to put the card into my phone. In Nagaur I had problems with the hotel I had booked on Expedia. The hotel did exist but the owner had changed, which meant that my booking wasn't accepted. Ashok was very helpful again, translating for me and getting a good deal for me (room, dinner and breakfast).

As far as the driving is concerned, I always felt safe and comfortable in his car. Ashok attaches great importance to keeping his car clean.

Last, but not least, I enjoyed the conversations with him and all the information I got.
